Ceramic pieces sold by Napco® (National Potteries Corporation) are
distinctive and popular again today. From its prolific output of the
1950s and 1960s to its miniature bone china imports of the 1970s, Mapco
has held the interest of collectors because the ceramic items are
consistently well-designed. This volume brings together information on
all of the Napco™ lines, including chapters on animal figures,
birthday sets, decorative items and kitchenware, figurines and planters,
and head vases. There is a separate section on Inarco™ (International
Artware Corporation), sister company of Napco®. Collectors of holiday
items, angels, and nursery rhyme characters will find plenty of interest
in these pages. An added bonus is the directory of major importing
companies of the fifties and sixties. With over 1,000 color photos and a
price guide, this is a worthwhile addition to a ceramics collector's
library.
